No dust jacket as issued. . . . . . . . Chief Justices of the United States, Taft excepted, have traditionally been identified more with decisions of the Court than their off-bench utterances. The Burger Court or The Warren Court may be a useful journalistic shorthand, but represents only one facet of the work of the Chief Justice in the last quarter of the 20th century. A Chief Justice is only one voice and one vote, and his standing as primus inter pares among the nine carries only such weight as comes from support of his positions. This is as true of the Great Chief Justice, John Marshall, as it is today. But two factors made Marshall's situation unique: much of the great work of his early years was in a court made up of Federalists - dedicated to a strong national government--and they were writing on a clean slate. Apart from that, the administration of a judicial system consisting in Marshall's day of thirteen trial judges and a Supreme Court of six hardly merits administration. There are unusual and compelling reasons for bringing together the body of thought represented in this selection of public statements by the Fifteenth Chief Justice outside the courtroom.

From the Dust Jacket: "The fundamental principles of the Constitution of the United States which evolved from the independence movement were best illustrated in the major constitutional cases which arose in the Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Marshall (1801-1835). In this volume are presented dramatic narrative accounts of five landmark cases that established precedents for basic aspects of the structure of the society in which we live: judicial review (Marbury v. Madison, 1803); the rights of the defendant and the accountability of the executive (United States v. Burr, 1806); the limits to state action (Trustees of Dartmouth College v. Woodward, 1819); the supremacy of federal power (McCulloch v. Maryland, 1819); implementing federal power (Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824)." Keywords: U.S. Constitutional Law. .
